Wildly relevant and bitingly funny, Eureka Day is set in a private California elementary school reeling from an outbreak of the mumps. As cases rise, the Board of Directors realize with horror that they’ve got to do what they swore they never would: make a choice that won’t please absolutely everybody.
New Hampshire Theatre Project and Threshold Stage Company present Eureka Day
The Eureka Day School in Berkeley, California, is a bastion of progressive ideals: representation, acceptance, social justice. In weekly meetings Eureka Day’s five board members develop and update policy to preserve this culture of inclusivity, reaching decisions only by consensus. But when a mumps outbreak threatens the Eureka community, facts become subjective and every solution divisive, leaving the school’s leadership to confront the central question of our time: How do you build consensus when no one can agree on truth?
